New wiring to my garage for a small 220v welder.
Greetings all,
I have a small dual voltage welder 150 amp output @ 220v, 90 amp @ 110v, that I have used as a portable for a number of years. It is a great welder.
When I got it, I had it converted to a 110v plug by my partner(who is long gone), as it is used from regular 110 outlets all the time. I have lost the adapter plug that came with it.
I now would like to use the welder in my garage, I have a large project that has heavier material to TIG weld, and I would like the increased welding power from the 220v.
My house is newer, has a large 100 amp service box (88 feet away) with plenty of spaces open.
My garage currently has 1 - 110v 20amp GFI outlet and 1 -15 amp for the door lift.
I would like to add a 220v 20amp for my welder and 1- additional 20 amp for a saw.
The saw and the welder would NOT be used at the same time, this is just my garage.
I am prepared to run new 1/2"conduit across the basement. Is this large enough?
I am thinking of 12ga wire, 2 reds and a white, and a 20amp dual pole breaker in the service box.
Can I run both outlets off the same breaker?
How many wires do I need to run?
What type of outlet should I use?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance,
Dean.
